**[Jerome Lacoste](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=lacostej)** commented > To do that, the lines after the first must be preceeded with a single space – > not any whitespace, but only a single space character. – The spec says: value: SPACE *otherchar newline *continuation continuation: SPACE *otherchar newline otherchar: any UTF-8 character except NUL, CR and LF otherchar doesn't exclude SPACE and I believe space is a valid UTF-8 character. So according to my understanding, a continuation might start with more than one space. What is invalid is an empty line in the wrong place. The fact that every continuation line starts with a space guarantees that a continuation line won't be mistaken into an "fully blank line". Now it is true that in maven 2.0.4 (which uses plexus-archiver 1.0-alpha-3) there's an issue. Continuations were wrongly identified and the example \<description> you posted would result in a broken Manifest. So I would like to see whether the problems still appears if you force the use of a later plexus-archiver (at least version 1.0-alpha-6). I haven't had time to look into your latest test case. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
